RE: Cheap .22 pistol
Here's proof that not all shooters are the same....I MUCH prefer the Ruger Mark II's grip/design to that of the Buckmark. I had a buckmark first, and picked up a TERRIBLE colt of some sort a decade ago, sold it quickly, and when I went in after another buckmark, I saw a flier for a used Ruger mark II for $50, call sam...so I called sam, he let me tear it apart and check it out, shot a full 500rnd brick that day, that thing was a DREAM. I've got four Mark II's now, in different configurations of course, but I love them all.
They're MUCH more pointable for me and being a predominately left handgun shooter, I found the Ruger's easier to operate than the brownings.
As far as accuracy and reliability goes, they're likely equally matched in most guns, so the real difference is in how they fit your hand.
